JDP-1 Junior Digital Piano by Gear4music, White

Product Information

At PLUK, we offer specialised children’s piano lessons for total beginners (usually age 3-8) as well as beginners piano lessons (usually age 8+ or for those able to play with two hands). With benefits such as improved focus, listening skills, patience, mental health, confidence, and hand-eye coordination, who wouldn’t consider piano lessons for their children a priority? The most important thing to consider with a digital piano is the keys. They can be semi-weighted (very light) or weighted (emulating a real piano action). Semi-weighted is often easier for very young children, but you may find that they struggle to transition to an acoustic piano later. Above all, children of all ages will find the Junior Piano a lot of fun!

It may not be feasible to invest in an acoustic piano, particularly if it’s not clear whether or not your child will take to playing. It’s worth getting an age-appropriate instrument for your child – toddlers usually start with a basic keyboard with 25-35 keys, whereas children over 8 years old can usually handle a full-size piano. One option is to start with a keyboard or digital piano and move to an acoustic piano when the time is right. 5 great beginner pianos for kids

She regularly took the budding musicians to Russian Orthodox Church services. It was here where he first encountered orthodox liturgical chants and the sound of church bells. A digital keyboard/piano is one that recreates the sound of a real piano. They are often portable, can be used with headphones (meaning practice sessions don’t have to be endured by the entire household), and vary in price.An acoustic piano is the classic style of piano favoured by most pianists. It is full size, has weighted keys, and is the type used for examinations. Acoustic pianos produce the best tone and sound, are beautiful pieces of furniture, and create a statement of intent for you and the learner. The ‘Dies irae’ is found in the Requiem Mass – referring to the day of judgement, death and fate. As a conductor he became obsessed by works that used this theme. At six foot six (just under two metres tall), it’s believed the composer had Marfan syndrome, which led to many medical ailments and complications throughout his life. As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the great composer-pianist’s birth, here are the ways his virtuosity, creative brilliance, and life story changed the music world.

The JDP-1 also comes with a sustain pedal, making sure players can reach an intermediate level, and a headphones output so kids can practice at any time without disturbing others. There's also an auxiliary input, which lets you plug in a phone or MP3 player so you can listen to or play along with your favourite songs. The JDP-1 is finished with a smart cabinet, complete with a matching stool, meaning it'll fit nicely into any home. Children can start learning from the moment they start hearing and feeling the world around them. It’s true that this foundation stage can start as early as before birth, but we tend to suggest that lessons start from 3 years old. But, it’s never too late to start, and older children will be able to progress rapidly. Despite his success, Rachmaninov famously seldom smiled in photographs.
